ansi/vt100 cursor issue

[Barnaby Falls]

I run emacs 21.2 on Linux and want to get the color syntax highlighting and 
all that. When I run with TERM=vt100 I get a gray and bold highlighting and 
the cursor appears where it should. However, if I run with TERM=ansi, I get 
the cool color syntax highlighting but the cursor is all the way in the top 
right corner of the window and some text is wrapped and starts at the end of 
the previous line. This all just regular text emacs, no X. Any ideas on how 
to correct this so I can get emacs working with TERM=ansi? Thanks all.
